Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.

We’ve been anticipating it for years,1 and it’s finally happening. Google is finally killing uBlock Origin – with a note on their web store stating that the extension will soon no longer be available because it “doesn’t follow the best practices for Chrome extensions”.2 Daly Barnett. “Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 is Deceitful and Threatening.” EFF, December 9, 2021. ↩ Lawrence Abrams. “Google warns uBlock Origin and other extensions may be disabled soon.” Bleeping Computer, October 13, 2024. ↩

Finally made the switch to Firefox just 2 days ago. Great so far.
No, HVEC / H.264 codec support so no modern 4K security camera or plex/jellyfin etc high quality video support.

plex/jellyfin etc high quality video support

H265 isn’t the only option there. AV1 is great and fully supported by Jellyfin (and I imagine Plex?)

H.265 is the defecto standard on Security cameras, and I am not going to migrate content to AV1 that is already in H.265.
Use VLC to view the video feed for your cams, better experience overall for that

Not when you are using an NVR with scrubbing and everything in the web UI. frigate.video

All in all it would be an inconvenient workaround for something that already works seamlessly across Safari, Edge, Chrome etc.

Frigate NVR

NVR with realtime local object detection for IP cameras

damn dude, all you do is bitch. maybe get a different camera setup.
How is giving a sober and straightforward explanation of why he can’t use Firefox “bitching”? The simple fact is “switch to Firefox” isn’t a solution for everyone in every case. Burying your head in the sand about that benefits nobody.
They can enjoy some ads then, I guess. But it was the general attitude of unwillingness to entertain suggestions and just shutting down every one.
It is generally hard to have an opposing opinion or need discussion on the internet without people feeling attacked and start name calling.
